## Constants Detailed

### BOTTOM

Constant used for setting vertical alignment for components.\
It makes the text inside the component be bottom aligned vertically.

**Type**\
[Number](/reference/servoycore/dev-api/js-lib/number.md)

**Sample**

```js
var bottomAlignedLabel = form.newLabel('BOTTOM', 520, 10, 50, 300);
bottomAlignedLabel.verticalAlignment = SM_ALIGNMENT.BOTTOM;
```

### CENTER

Constant used for setting horizontal and vertical alignment\
for components. If used for horizontal alignment,\
then the text of the component will be horizontally centered.\
Similarly, if used for vertical alignment, then the text\
of the component will be vertically centered.

**Type**\
[Number](/reference/servoycore/dev-api/js-lib/number.md)

**Sample**

```js
var hCenteredLabel = form.newLabel('CENTER', 10, 40, 300, 20);
hCenteredLabel.horizontalAlignment = SM_ALIGNMENT.CENTER;
var vCenterAlignedLabel = form.newLabel('CENTER', 460, 10, 50, 300);
vCenterAlignedLabel.verticalAlignment = SM_ALIGNMENT.CENTER
```

### DEFAULT

Constant used for setting horizontal and vertical alignment. DEFAULT value makes the alignment behave as if it was not changed before.

**Type**\
[Number](/reference/servoycore/dev-api/js-lib/number.md)

**Sample**

```js
var hLabel = myJSForm.getLabel('label_name');
if (hLabel.horizontalAlignment == SM_ALIGNMENT.LEFT) hLabel.horizontalAlignment = SM_ALIGNMENT.DEFAULT;
```

### LEFT

Constant used for setting horizontal alignment for components.\
It makes the text inside the component be left aligned horizontally.

**Type**\
[Number](/reference/servoycore/dev-api/js-lib/number.md)

**Sample**

```js
var leftAlignedLabel = form.newLabel('LEFT', 10, 10, 300, 20);
leftAlignedLabel.horizontalAlignment = SM_ALIGNMENT.LEFT;
```

### RIGHT

Constant used for setting horizontal alignment for components.\
It makes the text inside the component be right aligned vertically.

**Type**\
[Number](/reference/servoycore/dev-api/js-lib/number.md)

**Sample**

```js
var rightAlignedLabel = form.newLabel('RIGHT', 10, 70, 300, 20);
rightAlignedLabel.horizontalAlignment = SM_ALIGNMENT.RIGHT;
```

### TOP

Constant used for setting vertical alignment for components.\
It makes the text inside the component be top aligned vertically.

**Type**\
[Number](/reference/servoycore/dev-api/js-lib/number.md)

**Sample**

```js
var topAlignedLabel = form.newLabel('TOP', 400, 10, 50, 300);
topAlignedLabel.verticalAlignment = SM_ALIGNMENT.TOP;
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.servoy.com/reference/servoycore/dev-api/solutionmodel/alignment.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
